I have this set and although I haven't used it yet it looks very good to me. The "honeycomb" mesh is beautifully represented and the six screens supplied are labelled with the corresponding part numbers on the WNW Sprues. A nice product like everything else I've tried from RB Productions; I'd recommend it.
Cheers,

Just a couple of minor corrections here.
The images I have on these products are from the website. These items are not "screen mesh" but are plates with with corn row indentations. Here are the images for some explanations.

Here the PE appears to be attached to the radiator on the sprue. The edging appears to be .010 plastic rod used as a border.

The following images are from real aircraft. The first is from a late model Fok. D.VII (Alb.) in the hands of the AEF post war.

Of course the reasoning behind the use of adhesives other than "Cyano" is the time needed to reposition the PE part on the face of the radiator kit part. Also It is not a screen or mesh part as the Cyano might block up the screen and ruin the effect. PVA or another acrylic liquid is easy to blotter up on the edges.
